York College students achieved an A-level pass rate of 99.7 per cent this year.

The results were well above the national average, with almost 60 per cent of grades being between A* and B.

More than 30 students gained three or more A* or A grades, seven achieved three A*s or more and a number of students were accepted into Oxbridge universities.

This academic year has seen our students and their tutors getting to grips with new specifications and linear assessments in many A-level subjects, and these record high grades show just how well they have risen to this challenge.
